There's enough in her portfolio to get the idea; it's neat stuff, though it's a bit of a shame the gallery lighting doesn't work so well online. The <a href="http://lauracooperman.com/IMAGES/07.jpg">spinning gears</a> would be great to see in person.comment:www.metafilter.com,2006:site.56733-1513085Mon, 04 Dec 2006 20:01:03 -0800mediareportBy: fenriqhttp://www.metafilter.com/56733/Laura-Cooperman-Carves-Paper-Into-Art#1513101
Yeah, its beautiful but the way she presents it on her site leaves much to be desired.comment:www.metafilter.com,2006:site.56733-1513101Mon, 04 Dec 2006 20:28:56 -0800fenriqBy: Burhanistanhttp://www.metafilter.com/56733/Laura-Cooperman-Carves-Paper-Into-Art#1513127
Needs a video of the ones that rotate.comment:www.metafilter.com,2006:site.56733-1513127Mon, 04 Dec 2006 20:54:16 -0800BurhanistanBy: Bearhttp://www.metafilter.com/56733/Laura-Cooperman-Carves-Paper-Into-Art#1513546
Seattle artist, Dan Webb, also does <a href="http://www.howardhouse.net/artists/webb/HH03128.html">neat</a> things with paper.comment:www.metafilter.com,2006:site.56733-1513546Tue, 05 Dec 2006 08:43:42 -0800BearBy: DenOfSizerhttp://www.metafilter.com/56733/Laura-Cooperman-Carves-Paper-Into-Art#1513620
Not clear whether she uses an exacto blade or scissors, but either way, it'd be faster for her if she used acad. They seem to me more drawings <strong>of</strong> paper rather than drawings <strong>on</strong> paper; i can't tell whether they're actually used in a 3-d way (which would imbue her architectural notions with "paperness", which would be successful, imho) or whether they're just "flat layers" of paper, in which case they could be made out of velveeta. Either way, interesting to look at.comment:www.metafilter.com,2006:site.56733-1513620Tue, 05 Dec 2006 09:52:35 -0800DenOfSizerBy: es_de_bahhttp://www.metafilter.com/56733/Laura-Cooperman-Carves-Paper-Into-Art#1514133
I clicked on Cooperman before checking out Callesen (who I hadn't seen before), so I guess I was a little more impressed than the rest of you. Sure, Callesen has way better ideas, but <a href="http://lauracooperman.com/IMAGES/14.jpg">this</a> is beautiful and much better to hang on the wall than any of his work.comment:www.metafilter.com,2006:site.56733-1514133Tue, 05 Dec 2006 17:43:09 -0800es_de_bah
